Work with Smokefree on Your Next Project

Smoking cessation research and programs continually expand Smokefree’s understanding of how to help people quit smoking.

Smokefree regularly works with researchers, practitioners, and program planners who are interested in incorporating Smokefree data or products (including websites, mobile apps, or text messaging programs) into a project or research study. These collaborations advance our understanding of smoking cessation, mHealth, vulnerable populations, and other health behaviors. Since Smokefree’s inception, the Smokefree team and its collaborators have published more than 60 peer-reviewed articles on these topics.
